The changes in my life have been dazzling, especially for me. Now I am a morning person.
Run, Abraham, Run!
I have been running for about 45 minutes to an hour every morning for weeks now and every run is as fulfilling as the last.
Washington Sports Club
I spend more time at the gym than I care to mention. Just about every night, sometimes every other. I am about to go now. Its not as stultifying as it sounds.
Addicted
I just quit the gym. I am addicted to running. Running takes a long time, so I can only do one or the other, and the Washington Sports Club loses this battle. There is nothing like running, to be sure.
A Simple Solution
I have always had a terrible time keeping my space clean and organized. Everyone knows that who knows me.
eResources Press Release

Las Hadas
Las Hadas is the most beautiful resort on planet Earth and you can see it thanks to Chris and Kerri McCanna!
Director of Sales at eResources
Yesterday at lunch I accepted a position as a salesman for eResources LLC.
Bahía Tortuga
Mark and I sailed Kinship II from Cabo – the last place from which I reported – to a small fishing village named Bahía Tortuga, or Turtle Bay. Turtle Bay was a reluctant stop. We wanted to come in, fuel up, and then head out. Charlie’s Charts recommended Jorge, and he was the first person to zip up the Kinship in his outboard.
Poetry Published in Russia
Years and years ago I was asked if I was willing to have some of my poems published on a website in Russia. I was willing. They're now closed so I replicated them here.
Sailing for Lent
My spiritual experience of sailing during Lent during my Jesus year birthday of 33 and all the important lessons and experience I have been lucky to have as a result.
Aborted our Sail out of Cabo
Mark has never done it and neither of us is the type, but either the people we have met in Cabo are pulling major magic or we forgot to weigh anchor because we left Cabo San Lucas and then came right back. It was 12 hours of being on a stationary bike at sea: lots of peddling but we weren't going anywhere.
Cabo's Social Climbers, Us!
Wherever we go on this trip, Mark Harrison and I seem to be taken underwing. In this case, we were allowed to become Cabo San Lucas socialites for a day: High tea and fashion show; fashion show, and then an evening espresso. Top drawer!
Los Cabos
We limped into this cheesy tourist trap which does first-world better than the United States. What we discovered was an amazing assortment of magic and beautiful, selfless people.
Mark & Chris in Zihuat, MX
This is the only known image of Mark Harrison without his red Victorian romantic hair, and also me -- and I have no hair because I want to be like Mark.
Travelling to Cabo San Lucas
Its all the best and the worse of everything you could imagine from one of the top holiday, winter, and spring break destinations on the planet for Americans on the west coast and in the bread basket.
Still Sailing Mexico's Pacific
20-days into the Sail and we have only gone from Acapulco to Zihuatenejo to Las Hadas, Manzanillo. Many more miles to go. From Club de Yates de Acapulco to Rick's Bar to Dolphin rapists to gorgeous Las Hadas, oh my.
Hola de Montezuma
I was fine for the first couple of days, but the sun, the heat, and a bottle of green water put me down for a metric day. Luckily, I am back in the saddle again.
Acapulco
I am now in Acapulco and excited by the sail from here to Los Angeles. I am not sure when we will be leaving for the sail, but Acapulco easily earns its reputation as paradise.
Americans' Continued Purchases of SUVs Really Is a Problem by Mark Harrison
Oil purchases are essentially the only form of financial support the simplistic economies of the despotic Middle Eastern countries have. It's not like the Saudis and Saddam are making a killing off of their fashion industries and brilliant management consulting firms. SUV's and light trucks are all so fuel inefficient that their mere existance on our roads guarantees our continued dependence on Arab Oil.
The U.N. Took Powell's Lunch Money
I so enjoy the pomp and circumstances of United Nations gatherings. This time, His Excellency Secretary of State Colin L. Powell was outgunned, if you will. Although his argument was compelling and I believe him, the opacity of the current Administration disallowed a successful debate.
How I Found Father Downing and Saint James' Capitol Hill
Several years ago my ex Michelle and I were at Doolittle's with our dog Suzi. There was a flyer for an animal blessing on Saint Francis' Day. There would be two blessings, one at Stanton Park and one at Lincoln Park. Although Michelle and I were not church-going folks, we didn't want to short change our beloved pet; besides, Michelle and Suzi were both from San Francisco.
I've been seeing bioluminescence most nights since the end of November

Creative Writing Teacher
Back in 1997 and 1998 I was a creative writing instructor for a seminal on-line creative writing program. This program was a highschool magnet program for the Kalamazoo, MI, public schools.
Mark's Story Sailing Kinship II Blind
Missing from Mark as he sailed from Charleston, SC, to Marina Del Mar, Los Angeles, CA
My Puppy Suzi, My Ex Michelle, and a Doggie Neurologist, Part 2
While I was eating a Subway hoagie and watching the first season of the Sopranos on Teddy & Michelle's DVD system, I noticed that Suzi was in fact acting very oddly.
